THE 5100e and it's smaller cousins, like the 5085E are not made in America. They are made in India which John Deere denied even yesterday until I told them I already knew. Then they casually remembered that they aren't made in America. There are youtube videos of this factory. They are intentionally deceptive, not just at the dealership but John Deere themselves. I'm a union member and that alone would have caused me to buy something else. The rest of the problems with this tractor are just insult after injury. The dealer said he would be glad to sell the tractor (78 hours on it) on consignment for me. I don't much care for the idea that he makes money selling me this junk and now he figures he makes money helping me get rid of it. All irrelevant right now as the tractor is still in the shop. They don't know what is wrong with it. They might look at it soon but they're busy.
I am in the second week of not being able to feed my dairy because I use big bales even though I own a brand new John Deere.
